Pradal Serey

Neak Ta Pradal Serey is the first traditional khmer boran martial arts school in Canada that specializes in the art of Pradal Serey, which translates to "free fight." Pradal Serey is a style of Kickboxing practiced in Cambodia that predates the more commonly known style of Muay Thai.

The head teacher, Sam Lok, is very well versed in the martial art and brings a wealth of knowledge and technique. He is recognized by other khmer martial arts schools in Cambodia, US, Canada, France, and Australia as the only teacher in Canada and US that offers authentic khmer boran style fighting with grappling and wrestling. He's been asked to travel to other cities to teach to preserve the dying art form.
Grand Master Oumry Ban of Long Beach who owned a Pradal Serey club since the early 80's recognizes Sam Lok as the only school that teaches authentic Khmer Boran Style of Fighting. That's a big comment considering Grand Master Oumry Ban is known world wide and has built Pradal Serey from the bottom up in the USA, with students opening schools all over the USA.

We are a well rounded martial arts school, with the necessary tools to prepare you for competition in kickboxing, MMA, or just to get in shape! All you need is heart and determination!
